In what’s believed to be the first of its kind in the region, the Bereavement Breakfast Club sessions will take place on an initial three-month basis at Falkirk Golf Club in Stirling Road, Camelon.

The gatherings are open to all ages and will offer a breakfast roll with tea or coffee in an informal setting where visitors can pop in, take a seat and choose whether to chat with others or simply sit and listen.

Sheena McCorrie, NHS Forth Valley bereavement service co-ordinator, said: “Often taking the first step to come to a club like this can appear daunting.

“But we believe it will provide a great opportunity to share the burden with others who may be going through a similar experience.

“Loneliness is very much a 21st Century problem and after losing a loved one people often feel alone and don’t know where to turn to.

“We are hoping to provide a shoulder for them to lean on.”

The club will also be able to signpost people to additional services if participants feel in need of extra support.
